This song is from the album "Leave This Town" by Daughtry. Seeing no one has done
it yet, I decided to give this one a go.

VERSE 1
[C#m]I woke[B] up tod[E]ay
Seei[B]ng all the [C#m]stars that [B]you have t[E]hrown
Woun[B]ded by the [C#m]same old sh[B]ots you ta[E]ke
It's[B] easier to [C#m]kick the wi[B]nd that lo[E]w
CHORUS
And I just thou[A]ght that you should kn[E]ow
If I could onl[B]y know why yo[F#]u'd been letting g[A]o
Then it's not too l[E]ate to say it righ[B]t this time
'Cause I kn[D]ow I said I'm sorry
But t[A]hat's not what I m[B]eant to say
x2
VERSE 2
[C#m]Strong enou[B]gh to sa[E]y
That [B]I don't wanna t[C#m]ake the ha[B]rd road n[E]ow
S-S-So t[B]ypical of [C#m]you to wa[B]lk away[E]
When your [B]perfect little [C#m]world is [B]burning do[E]wn
CHORUS
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/daughtry/what_i_meant_to_say_crd.html )
And I just tho[A]ught that you should k[E]now
That I'd been [B]holding on while [F#]you'd been letting g[A]o
Can I be so bo[E]ld
'Cause all this ta[B]lking all to you[F#]'s just getting ol[A]d
Then it's not too l[E]ate to say it ri[B]ght this time
'Cause I k[D]now I said I'm sorry
But th[A]at's not what I m[B]eant to say
BRIDGE
Ah,
[A]What I really meant to s[E]ay
With e[B]very little breath I t[F#]ake
I'm not the o[A]nly one who makes mis[E]takes
Just think of a[D]ll the ones you ma[B]de
CHORUS
And I just tho[A]ught that you should k[E]now
That I'd been [B]holding on while [F#]you'd been letting g[A]o
Can I be so bo[E]ld
'Cause all this ta[B]lking all to you[F#]'s just getting ol[A]d
Then it's not too l[E]ate to say it ri[B]ght this time
'Cause I k[D]now I said I'm sorry
But th[A]at's not what I m[B]eant to say[A][E]
Not what I meant to s[B]ay[F#][A]
Can I be so b[E]old
'Cause all this tal[B]king all to yo[F#]u's just getting ol[A]d
Well, it's not too l[E]ate to say it ri[B]ght this time
'Cause I k[D]now I said I'm sorry
But t[A]hat's not what I me[B]ant to say[C#m]
